My Quicksilver VY SS

[patrick niesler]

Still haven't finished off with the Braided lines and Fittings, wondering if anyone has converted the power steering return and from reservoir to pump to braided lines and how they went about this?

Also had a bit of a thought about black VE stripes, whats your opinions on this? In a way I think it would look good and match the silver/black theme under the bonnet just not sure if it would look out of place.

Had an idea to try and clean up the engine bay without having to have the engine covers on. Decided to paint the rocker covers/coil brackets and coil packs.

Have painted the rocker covers and coil brackets.

Fittings are turning up tomorrow to finish off the catch can lines and to make a fuel line from the hardline to fuel rail with a gauge.

Finished off the braided lines, and made the fuel line today. First attempt with fuel line didn't work, the barb inside the 200 series fitting tore the teflon and caused it to leak but second time it worked.

New shifter boot and knob arrived today also, the silver top and leather knob looks a lot better on the car than the original poly black one did

Can you post a pic with the shifter in mate? I've thought about replacing mine with a silver one, but wasn't sure how out of place the white stitching would be..

Very nice mate, well done

New clutch has been ordered, exedy HD, flywheel, concentric slave, ARP flywheel bolts, ARP pressure plate bolts.

Still unsure about ordering the Braided clutch line and ripshifter from GM Motorsports. Anyone have the braided clutch line or shifter, do you think it was worthwhile?

Parts I have been waiting on arrived this afternoon, just have to go organise to get it fitted.

- Exedy Heavy Duty Clutch Kit
- Exedy Flywheel
- Concentric Slave Cylinder
- ARP Flywheel Bolts (supplied with clutch kit)
- ARP Pressure Plate Bolts.
- GM Motorsports Braided clutch hose
- GM Motorsports Street Rip Shifter

Should be a completely different car to drive once this is all in.

How much for all the clutch gear man?

 

[patrick niesler]

Everything shown above retails for about $1950. Heavy duty clutch kit (flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disc, concentric slave, ARP Flywheel bolts) $1300, Shifter $500, braided clutch line $100, ARP Pressure plate bolts $50
